Sonoco ThermoSafe and Unilode sign agreement for the maintenance, repair and handling of temperature-controlled containers
Sonoco ThermoSafe and Unilode Aviation Solutions have announced a partnership for the maintenance, repair and handling of Sonoco ThermoSafe’s passive bulk temperature-controlled containers at “several key” locations.
The companies say that this cooperation will play an “important part” in enabling the safe and efficient transport of pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products around the world.
Unilode’s chief commercial officer, Marc Groenewegen, added: “Unilode has stepped up its efforts to broaden its MRO customer portfolio and provide high quality maintenance and repair services to specialised ULD manufacturers and service providers in the pharmaceutical industry, in addition to its core airline market.
“We are pleased with our new agreement with Sonoco ThermoSafe that leverages Unilode’s global MRO footprint at key airports in the United States, EMEA and APAC region for repair, handling, inspection, cleaning and equipment inventory control services. This partnership will allow both companies to contribute to the global distribution efforts of the Covid-19 vaccines and other pharmaceutical products, which require temperature-controlled containers for the transport in the air cargo supply chain.”
